It's becoming easy to list what they DON'T want, which is much of what they are getting.

Here's a list off the top of my head on what a new service would need to provide:
  • Impartiality.
  • Intelligence on the market conditions.
  • Integrity.
  • Fair,consistent grading no matter who the submitter is.
  • Solid, secure,attractive holders. Reasonable font size.
  • Population reports with full data on variations etc
  • Registry sets, easy way to register them with ownership changes.
  • Reasonable wait times.
  • Responsive, interactive service with submitters
  • Some Hobby altruism to ensure the life cycle of their product and the hobby itself
  • More integrity.
I would agree with everything on you list, but add a determination by a mechanized process of authenticity and verification of no alterations (trimming, recoloring, corners rebuilt, etc.).
